Serving All of Daly City

Through the decades, the Daly City landscape has continually evolved to reach its sprawling urban-centric appearance today. Beaches stretch across its western edge that runs along the Pacific Ocean waterfront. The eastern edge of the neighborhood takes a meandering path around the rolling hillsides and neighboring community spaces. The winding Broadmoor neighborhood claims the central section of this region, leaving dense sections of single and multi-family residences.
